Translation

Verse 1

Because of my past offenses, my heart became like a thunderbolt. I had no ecstatic love for Your holy name. Now my hopes are all destroyed. In great distress I call Your name again and again.

Verse 2

O Lord merciful to the poor! O origin of all of mercy! Please save my life! Please rescue me from this ocean of birth and death!

Verse 3

When will an incessant stream of tears flow dripping and dripping from my eyes at the articulation of Your holy name?

Verse 4

When will a faltering voice choked with emotion arise in my throat, and when will words garbled due to ecstasy come from my mouth?

Verse 5

When will the hairs of my body stand erect in transcendental happiness, and when will perspiration, trembling, and being stunned be manifested on my body as I chant Your holy name?

Verse 6

When will I turn pale and I fall unconscious as I keep my life under the shelter of Your holy name?

Verse 7

Foolish Bhaktivinoda cries out, "O Lord, when will that day be mine?"
